Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 9, 2024

LiveAction LiveNX and HPE OneView are competing in the network management domain. HPE OneView may have the upper hand due to its comprehensive infrastructure management solutions, despite LiveNX's more favorable pricing and support options.

Features:LiveAction LiveNX offers deep network performance analytics, visualization tools, and aids in troubleshooting and optimizing network performance. HPE OneView provides infrastructure automation, streamlines resource provisioning, and manages configuration efficiently. OneView's broader infrastructure management focus contrasts with LiveNX's network-centric analytics.

Room for Improvement:LiveNX could enhance its infrastructure management capabilities, integrate more automation for resource provisioning, and expand its configuration management features. HPE OneView might improve its analytics depth, offer enhanced visualization tools, and provide a more intuitive network performance optimization process.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service:LiveAction LiveNX has a straightforward deployment process and responsive customer support for technical queries. HPE OneView offers an automated deployment using existing infrastructure but may not meet expectations in customer service as efficiently as LiveNX.

Pricing and ROI:LiveAction LiveNX's competitive pricing structure leads to quicker ROI for smaller enterprises focused on network analytics. Although HPE OneView is high in cost, its extensive capabilities and long-term benefits justify the investment for organizations needing comprehensive infrastructure management.

Gaining seamless monitoring and customization capabilities

One of the best features of HPE OneView is that you get a complete architecture with a single click. The analytics and monitoring tools in HPE OneView are superior to other network monitoring platforms such as Nagios. The features include multiple modules that allow you to create and write your own scripts based on your requirements for different servers such as database servers or tapping roaming servers. There is more feasibility when using HP Service Manager because, unlike other tools with predefined standards for script writing, we have the option for customization as per our choice, and dashboard reports can be customized.

Network management and diagnostics improved through effective monitoring and reporting capabilities

The solution is handy. I have not used that particular feature. Maintenance is required for the system. If you want to use something on the endpoints or end-user devices, then using LiveAction LiveNX in place of other tools would be quite beneficial. The solution impacts operational costs and resources. On a scale of 1-10, I rate LiveAction LiveNX a nine.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It's rather simple to use, and that's very important for us."

"Provides the strongest support for automation."

"We could literally swap out a piece of hardware, slide one back into the chassis, and immediately - about three reboots later - it was identical. We didn't have to worry about configuring it, we didn't have to spend any time getting anything into place. It came back and it healed the environment almost immediately."

"We cannot function without this solution. "

"The remote support automatically logs service calls and support cases with HPE, which is really good."

"Broad range of tools to create executive and operations dashboards."

"Just the ability to provision the servers with storage and network everything within one interface, not having to go into multiple interfaces to provision those pieces."

"By being able to deploy servers very quickly and rapidly, we can respond to any business requirement needed."

More HPE OneView pros

"The intention and the idea of the filter is great."

"We don't have any complaints about the software. According to my team, it's a very good tool that's very intuitive."

"On a scale of 1-10, I rate LiveAction LiveNX a nine."

"Its analytical capability is really good."

"One of the valuable features is the ability to create CLI scripts on the fly to fix any issues. We were using it for QoS modeling to ensure that we were properly modeling QoS, and it basically said here is what you need to fix to get this QoS done, whether it is ACL or something else. It would either push or recommend. If you have the right credentials, you could also push. It is very good if you are a Cisco shop. It gives you reporting, latency, and bandwidth utilization for your applications, so you can do good capacity management planning. There are a lot of pieces that LiveNX can give you. It is a total NPM solution for SD-WAN."

"We provide a tool for our customers to manage their reports. It's an extremely highly featured platform capable of producing a lot of data. We spent quite a long time working with customers and LiveAction to create template reports, and they're very good and configurable. You get a lot of data if you don't configure them."

"LiveAction LiveNX provides valuable real-time and historical network traffic visualization capabilities that help monitor and analyze network performance."

"All in all, LiveAction LiveNX has become an indispensable tool for maintaining and improving our network's reliability and performance, ultimately supporting our organization's goal of providing timely and dependable delivery services."

Cons

"The speed and performance of the solution are areas where the product lacks and needs improvement."

"It needs more reporting capabilities."

"The solution could add storage, integration services, and end-to-end support for Cisco switches or other competitor products."

"We've had issues, for example, with RAM."

"I would like to see them expand into other cloud platforms, non-HPE platforms."

"I had some minor difficulties with upgrading, but the solution still works fine."

"Specifically, it would be great if we had the ability to reapply the server profile faster."

"Use it, but do not think it is going into the clouds, because it is not. There is room for improvement."

More HPE OneView cons

"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions. For instance, there is a problem while labeling specific applications. It works well with well-known applications, but when you have to put in new applications that are not very known and set them up with names, ports, URLs, or some protocols, it is not as intuitive."

"Improved documentation and more responsive customer support can help in addressing issues faster."

"The product is weak in multi-tenancy. We have to install multiple instances of LiveAction, whereas we would like to build it once for our customers."

"Sometimes the solution does not register devices properly and that is a bug."

"Maintenance is required for the system."

"This is a horrible solution and I think everything needs to be improved."

"The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously."

"The customer service and technical support of LiveAction LiveNX are rated at 4 out of 10."

More LiveAction LiveNX cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When it comes to the government, money is never an issue, so it was excellent in terms of the HPE OneView licensing cost. Hitachi was cheaper, but I'd rate HPE OneView cost-wise as eight out of ten."

"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."

"HPE had some other solutions, but they were actually quite expensive to buy. So, when OneView came along, it was kind of reasonable in terms of price for licenses, etc."

"Use it. It is free."

"I am happy with the price."

"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."

"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."

"HPE could lower the price."

More HPE OneView pricing and cost advice

"The solution is fairly expensive compared to other products."
